2018-08-14 - The Factory Shop Order for Estey Organ, Op. 2612 shows that this organ had a two-manual tablet console with celluloid keys. Estey provided 77 sq. feet of case and bronzed display pipes. In the "Details of voicing" area was the instruction to "Voice the Swell Organ loud, as the pipes are in a crowded position, and the tone is quite likely to be muffled. Voice the Great and Pedal regular." This organ was voiced on 6" wind pressure.<br> In 1959, Midmer-Losh rebuilt the organ, providing a new Resiner console. The organ was sold for parts in 1996, and replaced by an Allen electronic instrument. -Database Manager
